Well you can’t use the balsamic vinegar they sell at Walmart, you need the authentic stuff. Most grocery store balsamic vinegar is just red wine vinegar with added caramel flavoring, not at all the same.
I like it over a hunk of goat cheese and berries.

I have to pee but it’s almost one and I don’t want to walk to the bathroom.
I always knew there was a hard edge to that youngin.
Does the indicator mean it passes eu designations? I am no balsalmic snob, but am i missing it entirely?

Oh I’m not sure about any of that, but I’d steer clear of store brands when trying to find an authentic balsamic vinegar.

NA knows what time it is. Good balsamic is on a whole different level than what you’ll find in most grocery stores. It’s still got some acidity but it’s sweet with a much more complex flavor.
And now I want some. Siri, tell me what breakfast foods pair well with balsamic vinegar.

I’d bet it would be good on chicken and waffles, although I haven’t tried or even seen that combo before.

(Siri plays you that one scene from “Leaving Las Vegas” but with a bottle of balsamic instead of a bottle of liquor)

Annoyed though: Kicked off a process that needs to do about 7M rows.
Did other things for about the length of time it usually takes. Return… 1.6M rows. This is gonna be all morning.

It was like that when I found it. 
This morning I made a cup using Folgers grounds and one of those EZ Cups (k-cup-shaped individual coffee filters that snap into a k-cup-shaped shell). But I pushed the button for a size bigger than I wanted, so I ended up with watery scorched coffee. :exams: So I had to toss it and make a Green Mountain k-cup at the right setting. (Green Mountain is not that good, but it’s a half-step up from standard po coffee.)

Currently on hold with the billing department of the phlebotomy service my wife and I use.
I got a bill in the mail for $$$$ because health insurance told the vampires that I don’t exist with them.
I suspect this is the old problem, where my health insurer only issues one member ID per subscriber, rather than per covered individual. My wife’s name is one letter different than mine (e.g. if I were “Eric”, she’s “Erica”). She also had lab work done at the same time as I…and someone’s system is getting confused.
So I sit on hold, listening to hold-music that would be nice except the audio quality is miserable, and the fact that it’s such a short tune that after the 30th time, it’s gotten very, very old.
EDIT: Of course after b*tching here, I finally get transferred to a human.
Turns out it wasn’t the similarity of names. Looks like their OCR on my health insurance card had a “0” where there should have been an “O” in my member ID. (Yes, I have both O’s and 0’s in that ID number.)

I’m on approximately my 8th phone call, running into 2+ hours trying to get 1 prescription resolved. Thought it was resolved last week, but my insurance company sent me to the entirely incorrect specialty pharmacy at which I set up an account and got prior authorization and prescriptions sent to… and they’re just some random pharmacy.
Now on hold with the old pharmacy to send things to the new pharmacy, and I’ll hopefully get meds no more than 6 days late, when I should take them every 8 weeks. Last time this happened I flared and needed 2 weeks of enemas.
M4A when?

I’m taking students on some ice fishing trips.
Me: I have 4 spots. First 4 people to post ‘confirmed’ reserve their spot.
Student 1: Hi!
Student 2: I’ve never been ice fishing, I’m interested in learning.
